CMOS Image Sensor

Description

The KAC−12040 Image Sensor is a high-speed 12 megapixel

CMOS image sensor in a 4/3

 optical format based on a 4.7

m

m 5T

CMOS platform. The image sensor features very fast frame rate,
excellent NIR sensitivity, and flexible readout modes with multiple
regions of interest (ROI). The readout architecture enables use of 8, 4,
or 2 LVDS output banks for full resolution readout of 70 frames per
second.

Each LVDS output bank consists of up to 8 differential pairs

operating at 160 MHz DDR for a 320 Mbps data rate per pair.
The pixel architecture allows rolling shutter operation for motion
capture with optimized dynamic range or global shutter for precise
still image capture.
